In different parts of India, the currency is known as the rupee, roopayi, rupaye, rubai or one of the other terms derived from the Sanskrit rupyakam. The most commonly used symbols for the rupee are ₹, Rs and Rp.

The Vietnamese Dong, or đồng, has been the currency of Vietnam since 1978. Issued by the State Bank of Vietnam, it has the symbol ₫ and is subdivided into 10 hào. However, the hào is now worth so little that it is no longer issued. The word đồng refers to Chinese bronze coins which were used as currency during the dynastic periods of China and Vietnam.
